Bio: Mandy began playing the organ for her church during high school and teaching piano and voice privately while working toward her bachelor's degree in Music Industry and Music Education. After graduation, she worked briefly in the music business before returning to school to earn a Master's in Music Education. She taught general and choral music to children from preK-high school for 24 years and was a Director of Music and church choir director for 28 years.

After completing a second Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, she developed a keen interest in Special Education and has been teaching special education in elementary schools for the past two years. She began teaching private music lessons to students with special needs in 2016. She is currently working toward her certification as a Registered Behavior Therapist while also working on a third Master's degree, this time in Special Education and ESL. She plans to eventually pursue a Doctorate in Music Education with an emphasis on adapted music instruction. She is willing to travel within 40 minutes of Leesburg, Virginia (northwestern Fairfax to central Loudoun counties).

I provide group and private music instruction in piano, voice, early childhood music, and world music drumming.
